Madison Wisconsin is like Austin Texas. Its a small town of liberals with the state’s largest university and the state’s capital. But the rest of the state is conservative outside of Milwaukee. Like most northern states, Wisconsin has a large union class that is more often voting conservative. These people work hard, live clean, drink beer, and go to church on Sundays.
As someone who spent many years in higher education and watched its takeover and decline, it has been the sad part of my life to experience the loss of classical education.
The public universities exist in their current state ONLY because the public and lawmakers allow them to do so. Academic Freedom has nothing to do with what is occurring within the universities today.
“drink beer,”
I lived in downtown Milwaukee. It seems like there was a tavern on every corner.
